Did you end up getting the Borla catback?

And you should hear it once you take the top off the air box I swear I look to see if a Subaru is around perfect almost boxer sound

How is the Borla Catback holding up? Any rust, or drone with burn in? I'm thinking about getting this catback and wanted some input if you could. Is it loud with normal daily driving, or only when you floor it? I have the PVEZ and a 2nd cat that I'm going to keep connected with the exhaust system. Is that how you have yours, I'm thinking this way I can keep it more quiet.

Thanks.

I couldn't really tell based on the picture on page 3 and the Borla website doesn't show the flanged pipe.

I wish it Borla or Ford would just say they are the same or different so that I could stop having the dilemma of choosing which one.
